I like Couscous. I buy Near East original plain. I use the recipe on the back of the box, but here it is.......
Zesty Greek Couscous Salad
1 package Near East Couscous Original Plain - the box is 10 ounces
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 T lemon juice
3 T olive oil - important b/c it keeps the couscous from sticking together
2 large chopped tomatoes
1 medium zucchini, halved and thinly sliced
1/2 cup fresh basil cut in strips - I use dried and just guess
1/3 cup green onions sliced
Prepare couscous by bringing 2 C water or broth to a boil, add 1/2 tsp salt and 3 T olive oil. Stir in couscous, cover, and let stand for 5 minutes.
The recipe says to add the veggies and remaining ingredients. I like to saute my green onions first. Refrigerate.
I eat this cold. I really like these containers b/c they don't spill or leak, they are just the right size, and they are cheap......
